ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the

anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.

Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range

is moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in

place and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or se-

rious burns to children or adults.

For Freestanding Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged

properly, look underneath the range to see that

the anti-tip arm attached to the side panel is en-

gaged in the bracket. On some models, the stor-

age drawer or kick panel can be removed for

easier inspection. If visual inspection is not pos-

sible, slide the range forward, conﬁrm the anti-tip

bracket is securely attached to the ﬂoor or wall,

and slide the range back so the antitip arm slides

just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is

pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat

this procedure to verify the range is properly se-

cured by the anti-tip bracket.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range

must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip

bracket. See installation instructions shipped with

the bracket for complete details before attempt-

ing to install.

Instructions

• Never wear loose-ﬁtting or hanging gar-

ments while using the appliance. Be careful

when reaching for items stored over the

range. Flammable material could be ig-

nited if brought in contact with hot surface

units or heating elements and may cause

severe burns.

• Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders touch

hot surface units or heating elements. Do

not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• For your safety never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

• Do not let cooking grease or other ﬂam-

mable materials accumulate in or near the

range.

• Do not use water on grease ﬁres. Never

pick up a ﬂaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a ﬂaming pan on a surface unit by

covering the pan completely with a well ﬁt-

ting lid, cookie sheet or ﬂat tray. Use a mul-

tipurpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁre

extinguisher.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F

and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures

usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if

available, by using a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam type ﬁre extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered com-

pletely by closing the door and turning the

oven off or by using a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam type ﬁre extinguisher.

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn

even though they are dark in color. During

and after use, do not touch or let clothing

or other ﬂammable materials contact the

surface units, areas nearby the surface units

or any interior area of the oven; allow sufﬁ-

cient time for cooling ﬁrst.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cook-

top, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent

opening, surfaces near the opening, crev-

ices around the oven door and metal trim

parts above the door.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other ﬂammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other ap-

pliance.

• Keep the hood and grease ﬁlters clean to

maintain good venting and to avoid

grease ﬁres.

• Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet

that are necessary for the range to oper-

ate properly with correct combustion. Air

openings are located at the rear of the

cooktop, at the top and bottom of the

oven door, and at the bottom of the range

under the storage drawer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

• Stand away from the range when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which es-

capes can cause burns to hands, face

and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury. Keep the

oven vent unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder

contact the heating elements.

• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can catch on ﬁre.

• Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

OVEN

SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS

• Never leave the surface units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smok-

ing and greasy spillovers that may catch

on ﬁre.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers

are suitable for cooktop service, others

may break because of the sudden change

in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of ﬂammable materials and spillage, the

handle of a container should be turned to-

ward the center of the range without ex-

tending over nearby surface units.

• Always turn the surface units off before re-

moving cookware.

• Do not ﬂame foods on the cooktop. If you

do ﬂame foods under the hood, turn the

fan on.

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high

or medium high heat settings.

Use proper pan size-select cookware having ﬂat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface

unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware

to surface unit will also improve efﬁciency.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as pos-

sible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on

fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up

and over the side of the pan.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can

cause spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, as

fats melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it

heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cook-

top can be scratched with items such as sharp

instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on

clothing.

• Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or

cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

• Do not operate the radiant surface units if the

glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution

may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a

risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualiﬁed

technician immediately should your glass cook-

top become broken.

• Never use glass cooktop surface as a cutting

board.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch ﬁre on the glass cooktop, even when it is

not being used.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS (on some models)

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the con-

trols have been turned off.

• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring

utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is

in use. They may become hot and could cause

burns.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping

any surface unit areas until they have cooled

and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills

are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning

the glass cooktop section.

• When the cooktop is cool, use only the recom-

mended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.

• To avoid possible damage to the cooking sur-

face, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass

surface when it is hot.

• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to

remove all cleaning cream residue.

• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on

the cleaning cream labels.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can

lead to damage and improper operation of the

range.

• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop,

be careful to avoid steam burns.

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for all

surface units are at the OFF position and all coils

are cool before attempting to lift or remove a

unit.

WARNING!

COIL SURFACE UNITS (on some models)

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during

cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or

anywhere in the oven except as described in

this manual. Misuse could result in a shock, ﬁre

hazard or damage to the range.

How to Set the Controls

Surface Cooking Controls

Your surface units and controls are de-

signed to give you a variety of heat set-

tings for surface unit cooking.

At both LO and HI positions, there is a slight

notch so control clicks at those positions;

HI marks the highest setting; LO, the lowest

setting.

In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight

clicking sounds during cooking, indicating

heat settings selected are being main-

tained.

Switching heats to higher settings always

shows a quicker change in temperature

than switching to lower settings.

1. Push the control knob in.

2. Turn either clockwise or counterclock-

wise to desired heat setting.

Control must be pushed in to set only from

the OFF position.

When control is in any position other than

OFF, you can turn it without pushing in.

Be sure you turn control to OFF when you

ﬁnish cooking. An indicator light will glow

when ANY surface unit is on.

A Burner On indicator light will glow when

ANY surface unit is on.

Heat Setting Guide

MAX - Quick start for cooking; bring water

to boil.

MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry, pan broil; maintain

fast boil on large amount of food.

MED - Sauce and brown; maintain slow

boil on large amount of food.

MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain serving

temperature of most foods.

MIN - Cook after starting at HI; cook with

little water in covered pan. Use to steam

rice.

NOTES:

1. At MAX or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave

food unattended. Boilovers cause smok-

ing; greasy spillovers may catch ﬁre.

2. At MIN, melt chocolate, butter on small

unit.

Cooking Tips

Use medium- or heavyweight cookware.

Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster

than other metals. Cast-iron and coated

cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat,

but generally cooks evenly at low or me-

dium heat settings. Steel pans may cook

unevenly if not combined with other met-

als.

Do not overﬁll cookware with fat that may

spill over when adding food. Frosty foods

bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at

high temperatures. Keep range and hood

clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy,

pans should be ﬂat on the bottom, have

straight sides and tight-ﬁtting lids. Match

the size of the saucepan to the size of the

surface unit. A pan that extends more than

an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan

traps heat, which causes "crazing" (ﬁne

hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discol-

oration ranging from blue to dark gray on

chrome drip pans.

Using the radiant surface units.

(on some models)

The radiant cooktop features heating units

beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new

cooktop is used for the ﬁrst time. It is

caused by the heating of new parts and

insulating materials and will disappear in a

short time.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to

maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the

oven or surface on the glass surface when

the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off,

the glass cooktop retains enough heat to

continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,

remove pans from the surface units when

the food is cooked. Avoid placing any-

thing on the surface unit until it has cooled

completely.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop

because it can scratch the glass - the

glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

About the radiant surface units...

Every radiant surface unit has a tempera-

ture limiter. The temperature limiter pro-

tects the glass cooktop from getting too

hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the

units off for a time if:

Always place the pan in the

center of the surface unit you

are cooking on.

Never cook directly on the

glass. Always use cookware.

• The pan boils dry.

• The pan bottom is not ﬂat.

• The pan is off center.

• There is no pan on the unit.

Temperature Limiter

• Water stains (mineral deposits) are re-

movable using the cleaning cream or

full-strength white vinegar.

• Use of window cleaner may leave an iri-

descent ﬁlm on the cooktop. The clean-

ing cream will remove this discoloration.

• Do not store heavy items above the

cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop,

they can cause damage.

• Do not use the surface as a cutting

board.

Indicator Lights (on radiant glass models

only).

A Hot indicator light will glow when any radiant el-

ement is turned on, and will remain on until the

surface is cool enough to touch.

A Burner On indicator light will glow when any sur-

face unit is on.

NOTE: The Hot indicator light may glow between

the surface control settings of Min and OFF, but

there is no power to the surface units.

Selecting types of cookware.

The following information will help you choose cookware that will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Check for ﬂat bottoms by us-

ing a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved,

ridged or warped bottoms are

not recommended.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a ﬂat-

bottomed wok.

They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Use of these types of woks, with or without

the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will

cause a buildup of heat that will damage

the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use

such woks without the ring. You could be

seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.

Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster

than other metals. Cast-iron and coated

cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb

heat, but generally cook evenly at low to

medium heat settings. Steel pans may

cook unevenly if not combined with other

metals.

Surface Cookware Tips

For best cooking results, pans should be

ﬂat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucepan to the size of the surface unit.

The pan should not extend over the edge

of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Not over 1 inch

Use only ﬂat-bottomed

woks

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the

surface unit.

Make sure the canner is ﬂat on the bot-

tom.

Use recipes and procedures from repu-

table sources. These are available from

manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr®

and the Department of Agriculture Exten-

sion Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use

caution when canning.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the sur-

face.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the sur-

face.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered com-

pletely with porcelain enamel, this cook-

ware is recommended. Caution is recom-

mended for cast-iron cookware that is not

completely covered with smooth porce-

lain enamel, as it may scratch the glass-

ceramic cooktop.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can ap-

pear as scratches. The residues can be re-

moved, as long as the cooktop is cleaned

immediately. However, do not let these

pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond

to glass cooktops. An overheated copper

bottom pot will leave a residue that will

permanently stain the cooktop if not re-

moved immediately.

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended.

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues

sometimes appear as scratches on the

cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned

immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin-weight aluminum should not be

used.

Before you begin...

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves

in the desired position before you turn the

oven on.

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when

placed correctly on the shelf supports (A

through D), they will stop before coming

completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf

support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt

the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf

(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front

and push the shelf in.

NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out

at the special low shelf (A) position.

Oven Temperature Knob (on some models)

Oven shelf positions

The oven has four shelf supports—A (bot-

tom), B, C and D (top).

The oven has 4 shelf posi-

tions.

Turn this knob to the setting you want.

The oven cycling light glows until the oven

reaches your selected temperature, then

goes off and on with the oven element(s)

during cooking.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct

temperature. Preheating is necessary for

good results when baking cakes, cookies,

pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light

or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans

are centered in the oven as much as pos-

sible. Pan should not touch each other or

the walls of the oven. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not

directly above the other, and leave ap-

proximately 1 ½" between pans, from the

front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of

the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

shelf several inches below the food.

Adjust the oven thermostat – Easy to do yourself!

You may ﬁnd that your new oven cooks differently that the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to be-

come more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These

thermometers may vary 20-40°F.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment

will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat with this Type of Knob

1. Pull the Oven Temp knob off the shaft,

look at the back of the knob and note

the current setting before making any

adjustments.

2. Loosen both screws on the back of the

knob.

3. To increase the oven temperature,

move the pointer toward the words

"MAKE HOTTER."

To decrease the oven temperature, turn

Most recipes for baking have been devel-

oped using high fat products such as but-

ter or margarine (80% fat), If you decrease

the fat, the recipe may not give the same

results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,

pastries, cookies or candies are made with

low fat spreads. The lower the fat content

of a spread product, the more noticeable

these differences become.

Federal standards require products la-

beled "margarine" to contain at least 80%

fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the

other hand, contain less fat and more wa-

ter. The high moisture content of these

spreads affects the texture and ﬂavor of

baked goods. For best results with your old

favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or

stick spreads containing at least 70% veg-

etable oil.

Each notch changes the temperature

by 10°F.

(on some models)

The oven must be cool in order to set the

self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting your kitchen with

an open window or using a ventilation fan

or hood during the ﬁrst self-clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cook-

ware and any aluminum foil from the

oven.

The shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on

some models) can be self-cleaned, but

they will darken, lose their luster and be-

come hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Clean the top, sides and outside of the

oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on

some models) is in place and the oven

light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is ex-

tremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.

Move birds to another well ventilated

room.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-

tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.

Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is

moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place

and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious

burns to children or adults.

With proper care, the porcelain enamel ﬁnish

on the inside of the oven - top, bottom, sides,

back and inside of the door- will stay new-

looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We rec-

ommend that you wear rubber gloves when

cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job.

Heavy spattering or spillovers may require

cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-

ﬁlled scouring pads may also be used.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow food spills with a

high sugar or acid content (such as milk, to-

matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁlling)

to remain on the surface. They may cause a

dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the clean-

ing job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow

glass or pottery container in a cold oven

overnight. The ammonia fumes will help

loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical

controls and switches because it could

cause a short circuit and result in sparking or

ﬁre.

Do not allow a ﬁlm from the cleaner to build

up on the temperature sensor- it could cause

the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is lo-

cated at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe

the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,

being careful not to move the sensor as a

change in its position could affect how the

oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of the

oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The

cleaner can damage these surfaces.

To clean the inside of the door:

• Do not allow excess water to run into

any holes or slots in the door.

• Soap and water will normally do the

job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may

require cleaning with a mild abrasive

cleaner. Soap-ﬁlled, steel-wool pads

may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high

sugar or acid content (such as milk, to-

matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁll-

ing) to remain on the surface. They may

cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To clean the outside of the

door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the

oven door. Rinse well. You may also

use a glass cleaner to clean the glass

on the outside of the door. Do not let

water drip into the vent openings.

• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, to-

mato sauces and basting materials

containing acids may cause discol-

oration and should be wiped up im-

mediately. When surface is cool,

clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

To clean outside of the gasket:

The gasket is designed with a gap at

the bottom to allow for proper air circu-

lation.

Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle,

you do not need to clean this by hand

on self-clean models.

The area outside the gasket and the

front frame can be cleaned with a

soap-ﬁlled steel-wool pad, hot water

and detergent. Rinse well with a vin-

egar and water solution.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket-it

has an extremely low resistance to

abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming

worn, frayed or damaged in any way,

or if it has become displaced on the

door, you should have it replaced.

Lift-up Cooktop (only coil models)

Clean the area under the cooktop often.

Builtup soil, especially grease, may catch

on ﬁre.

To make cleaning easier, the cooktop

may be lifted up and propped open.

Be sure all surface units are turned off be-

fore raising the cooktop.

Remove the front surface and drip pans.

See the Surface Units and Drip Pans sec-

tion. Grasp the two front surface unit wells

and lift the cooktop up and prop it open

with the prop rod provided.

After cleaning underneath the cooktop

with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth,

hold the cooktop up, return the prop rod

to its storage position and lower the cook-

top until it snaps into position. Be careful

not to pinch your ﬁngers. Replace the two

front drip pans and surface units. See the

Surface Units and Drip Pans section.

element is on. Always wear protective

hand-wear when cleaning interior oven

surfaces or surfaces near heating ele-

ments. If spillovers, residue or ash accumu-

late around the bake element, gently wipe

around the element with warm water.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from

the oven. Remove the grid from the pan.

Carefully pour out grease from the pan

into a proper container. Wash and rinse

the broiler pan and grid in hot water with

a soap-ﬁlled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with

detergent while hot and cover with wet

paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the

pan will remove burned on foods.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid

anywhere in the range.

Both the broiler pan and

grid can also be cleaned in

the dishwasher.

Control Panel and Knobs

Pull the knobs straight off

the stem.

It is a good idea to wipe the control panel

after each use of the oven. Use a damp

cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use

mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of

vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean

water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong liquid

cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven

cleaners on the control panel; they will

damage the ﬁnish.

The control knobs may be removed for

easier cleaning.

Make sure the knobs are in the OFF posi-

tions and pull them straight off the stems

for cleaning.

The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher

or they may also be washed with soap

and water. Make sure the insides of the

knobs are dry before replacing.

Replace the knobs in the OFF position to

ensure proper placement.

Oven Shelves

Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive

cleanser or scouring pad. After cleaning,

rinse the shelves with clean water and dry

with a clean cloth.

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven be-

fore you begin the self-clean cycle or they

may discolor.

To make the shelves slide more easily, ap-

ply a small amount of vegetable oil or

cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the

edges of the oven shelves with the paper

towel.

top cabinet, and 18" minimum between the

countertop and the adjacent cabinet bottom.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or ﬁre when reach-

ing over hot surface elements, cabinet storage

space above the cooktop should be avoided. If

cabinet storage space is to be provided above

cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a

range hood that protrudes at least 5” beyond the

front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a

cooktop may be no deeper than 13".

Flooring under the range

Your range, like many other household items, is

heavy and can settle into soft ﬂoor coverings such

as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.

When moving the range on this type of ﬂooring, it

should be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet of ply-

wood (or similar material) as follows:

When the ﬂoor covering ends at the front of the

range, the area that the range will rest on should

be built up with plywood to the same level or

higher than the ﬂoor covering. This will allow the

range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
